    • Resurface uneven concr... Alternative way to fix uneven concrete with BMI 690.
    In this how-to video, I ask, Is your concrete sidewalk sinking? I’m prepping with Poly Bond to resurface and then level.
    If I add more than a quarter inch, I will add some sand to the Poly-bond, about half and half.
    What is La HaBras Poly-bond? It’s an adhesive cementitious product.
    I find a pressure washing with a force of 3,000 to 3,500 psi minimum works fine; it micro scores or etches the surface of the concrete.
    Only gas-pressure washers put out this pressure.
    For more force, buy a turbo tip. Turbo tips cost about 50 bucks but are worth every penny.
    They add to the force needed to etch or score below the surface.
    I prefer La Habra’s “Poly Bond” for flat surfaces that may be walked or driven over.
    Polybond is only sold at professional plastering yards. It’s a cementitious adhesive bonder designed to attach styrofoam to porous surfaces on a building.
    How strong is professional Poly Bond, with the possibly thousands of pounds of styrofoam coated with cement attached on the tops of buildings or homes, whether 5 or 10 stories high?
    It’s often best for folks to pay a licensed Cement mason to cut out the section, take it to the dumps, add new rebar set with Dobies as enforcement, and repour with concrete.
    However, not all folks have the cash to do this. So I changed a few hundred bucks for this temporary fix, which, who knows, may last a lifetime but is doubtful.
    Obviously, we didn’t do this repair for money,
    We did it for our subscribers for “Educational Purposes,” as that’s the kind of guy I am.
    For you folks, what do you use to resurface a concrete walkway? I’d recommend more user-friendly products like Sakrete Gray self-leveler, Quikrete Self-Leveling Concrete Resurfacer, or Rapid Set Concrete Leveler. These resurfacing adhesive levelers are easier and user-friendly and can be purchased at Home Depot, Lowes, and many other hardware stores.
    This video resurfaces a small driveway done years before this one. • Resurface a concrete d...
    The material I used is not sold at either of these stores but only plastering yards as it is precisely engineered to attach styrofoam to base-coated walls.

    Kirk. Only you can keep me Watching a video about an issue I don’t even have for 25 minutes, and still consider it time well spent. On holiday no less ❤
    Also. Funny how the ..what did you call it? Finishing touches? Are the hardest to achieve by a non pro.
    Alsoooo not only did I watch that aforementioned video, but also (after bombarding you with ratio questions), piggy backed on it, to fix concrete stairs, and a much more wedged parking entrance surfacing layer.
    Still holds after few years gone by,. I’m not expecting 20. But I think anything above 4 ,to 5 years is a win.
    Anyways. Always love to watch a master at work.
    Would love to see how that fix held over the winter.

      Good afternoon Charlie green, Polybond will work for crack repairs but has lite grainy sand to it.
      If the crack is huge, you may want to hit it again when the poly bond is dry as it won't go more than a quarter of an inch without shrinking.
      FYI, Poly-bond by La Habra is specifically engineered to adhere styrofoam to base coats of stucco. Thus, it's an adhesive cementitious cement.

    OK, went to both Lowes and Home Depot and could not find this Poly Bond. A dude on the street said he could "get stuff" he looked really shady but for $100 he hooked me up with a pack (it looked like he took a bit for himself). I have no experience with Poly Bond or concrete for that matter, but I used hot glue once so I figured how hard could it be? Well, it was a disaster. I managed to burn down my house!

    Great job and video. Priceless knowledge for DIYers. Like the man said Polybond is a professional grade product and big box stores have re-surfacing products that are decent. Pressure wash, clean and etch like he said. Preparation is key and thin multiple coats. Also your driveway still looks great! Keep up the great work and I also am second generation plasterer & painter and learned from my father who was a plasterer for 45 years. Unfortunately we lost my Dad a year ago but I learned the trade and many things just like this. Love that your sons and daughters work with you as well!

    One of the best instructional you have ever produced guys.
    I think I know why the water part is such a recurring issue.
    Most of us do it yourself guys, never used a power washer, not to mention a gas powered one.
    So ..for me at least, it want obvious just how much important it is to make sure the old concrete is not just damp.. but wet inside as well, for a good mechanical bond. But I do have a tip for those without a notion as to how to damp the old surface.
    Get an old bedsheet even. Cover the surface with it and drench it with water. And let it hang there for an hour, while making sure it’s always drenched with water.
    That should do it.
    Also..another tip for good bonding is first brush the surface with a water thinned cement ..simple one. Like a. Painting texture.
    As cement is basically a sort of adhesive ..combining it with water like that will connect the two layers.. old and new ..better.
    Just make sure that the brushed cement is still at least damp when you apply the top layer of concrete. If it’s dry then you need to wet it again

      Good morning Gefilta, Good advice my friend.
      I would add if a homeowner does not have pressure washer available that is strong enough to etch the concrete.
      Then to improvise and etch the concrete well with a "wire-brush" and some old fashioned elbow grease, then rinse off excess loose cement dust.
      Some readers might think, where do I find elbow grease? 😎I'm referring to physical strength or muscle with the effort to scrub the dust off.
      Folks are now ready, to begin with, whatever first prep steps they are partial too.

      Good evening Gefilta, yes, the acid will etch the concrete.
      Then go into the street and makes its way into our water supply. I don't like to use toxic stuff if I don't have to.
      Plus, with using acid you'd need a respirator. The only toxins I'll allow are whats in my beers. 🍺

    Hi Kirk thanks to you I did all the stucco walls in my yard . I caulked all the hair lines and then used Commercial Grade Quikrete with Hydraulic Water- stop Cement .
    I was able to seal a whole I had i my wall and water proof my basement . After that I painted my stucco walls in the my yard with Sherwin Williams Loxon xp Water proofing Masonry Coating. I trying to send you a picture but I have trouble sending it to you . I even build a small garden wall for my yard .
    I really help again its about cement and know you don't cement . But know you know this question . I three cement cracks blocks in my yard . Two are medium size and the other is half of one block . I don't want to pull them out . I just want to go over them and fill them up with cement . My question is ? I been told not to mix Grade Quikrete with Hydraulic with Commercial Grade Quikrete Mason Mix Type & Mortar . I was told it will crack ? Is this true ? I didn't have enough to fill the whole and have to get more and it did get hairline cracks . I tried very hard to do this and wasn't easy for me but I am not giving up . Please help me and suggest to me what I am doing wrong ? I will try and send pictures . I Proud of my self the yard looks nice . But I want to do the cement blocks before it gets too cold . You are helping everyone one and a blessing for all of us . Thank you .

      Good afternoon Brenda, no worries I'd recommend a ten or 25-pound box of, Raip set mortar or even Rapid set stucco, both will work.😉
      The mortar sets really fast and is crazy strong, in fact, it set so fast you will have less than ten minutes to design it like you want to.
      The stucco will also work it set in about 20 to 25 minutes. The decision to bay a ten-pound or twenty-five-pound box will have to be made by you.
      It's best to buy too much and throw some away than to buy too little and need more.🤔

    I have an over 50 year old concrete patio behind my house in NY and due to the freeze/thaw cycling we get massive sprawling if you don’t seal concrete and/or use salt in the winter; we’ve been resurfacing concrete for decades with simply a pressure washing, 2-3 coats of diluted bonding agent sprayed over, and a Portland slurry with a fortified then simply Portland and sand, plus just a little lime and it lasts for years and is quite cheap. For some better protection we’ll use RapidSet CementAll and their flow aid as it cures out to 9,000 PSI and is very resistant to water and salt. Top and Bond is a lot of people’s go-to but is just too expensive for any kind of real area; we’ve done this over driveways and in garages and have never had issues with some top coats going beyond 20 years, though some can pop/sprawl especially if highly salted and if we get days cycling between warm and freezing. Ultimately do what you’re comfortable with but I’m always looking to save $ and topping concrete is a big money saver.

      @@StuccoPlastering: Depends a lot on weather as it sets a lot quicker on hot days but 10-15 minutes can be expected, once mixing starts; you can extend times by keeping the bags cold or using ice water and speed things up by using hot water. They also conveniently have packages of flow aid, which works like a super plasticizer to increase flow without increasing water and decreasing strength, and a set retarder which buys about 10-25 more minutes per packet up to 4/55 lb. bag. I like the RapidSet line as it is hard as a rock in an hour, without set retarder, and was a big go-to in the Military when time counts. Grew up in a family of tradesmen including a mason or two and while I didn’t go into masonry I do it from time to time; I’m always amazed at the longevity and look of a days work, you just don’t get that from all the trades. Like the videos, just thinking of stucco as I’ve been redoing the 50-140 year old coat on the foundation and just unifying all the additions; while it looks nice it reminds me I’m no spring chicken and I’m glad I choose a trade that was less manually hard.

    Why not use rapid set? Rapid set is for resurfacing and and will adhere to concrete, and be allot stronger than polybond.

    • @paullindberg5732

      Polybond has more adhesive in it, although they are both extremely strong, as a door and window contractor that does his own stucco, I'd go with what Kirk says.

      Good afternoon Cristine and Andrea, LOL, we all know what Poly-bond is specifically engineered for attaching styrofoam to base coats of stucco.
      What I do is add about half the sand per mix. Thus if I add a half bucket of poly-bond, I add the rest with sand, then mix.
      Then let it slack for about 20 minutes. After the 20-minutes break, the slake by re-mixing, then fill the holes.
      As I did in this video, I sometimes skim the whole thing once more with the straight poly bond when this coat drys.
      Remember, this shit is important. Nothing adheres to a dusty, dirty, oily surface, 'Nothing,' not Poly-bond or the best adhesive caulking Sikaflex.
      So if it comes off or cracks, you did it wrong.
      I believe I'm talking to two plasterers who already know this kind of stuff?😉
      With my false teeth, I use full strength poly bond hold them in place plus taste yummy.🤔That's a joke, folks, so don't go saying I tried the stuff for my teeth and got sick.😏

      Keep in mind if you use too much sand, you can have a weak surface.🤔
      I added just enough after the poly-bond slacked, I'd say about two or three handfuls. What I'm showing in this and a couple other similar videos are for small repairs. So you don't need much sand.
